a start to knowing yourself.

Knowing ourselves has become such an important goal, that nowadays it is being tied to knowing the meaning of life itself.

Where is the self located, are you your six packs abs, your skill to bake gluten free muffins, or your job?

Are we what we do?

This talk explores where the 'self' is located. Where we find our identity in a world with no meta narrative, no big idea telling us who to be and where we fit in. Where do we find ourselves in a fragmented, splintered world?

Parker Palmer asks, how do we rejoin our souls, with our roles, because "The perceived incongruity of inner and outer - the inauthenticity that we sense in others, and they in us - constantly undermines our morale, our relationships, and our capacity for good work"

In a world where careers change every five years, or less, are we what we do? How do we navigate life, how do we hire people? Do we hire for attitude, being, or do we hire for skill?

Bottomline

Knowing the self is crucial to happiness and fulfillment. Knowing the self, helps us to know where we fit in, where should work, how we should organise our personal and professional lives.

Knowing the self, is the basis of meaningful success.
